Title
Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on labelling of tyres with respect to wet grip, fuel efficiency and other essential parameterrolling noise levels

Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) Tyres are characterised by a number of parameters which are interrelated. Improving one parameter such as rolling resistance may have an adverse impact on other parameters such as wet grip, while improving wet grip may have an adverse impact on external rolling noise. Tyre manufacturers should be encouraged to optimise all parameters, without undercutting safety standards which have already been achieved.

Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) Other tyre parameters, such as aquaplaning or handling in curves, also affect road safety. However, at this stage, harmonised testing methods are not yet available in respect of such parameters. Therefore, it is appropriate to provide for the possibility, at a later stage and if necessary, of laying down provisions on harmonised information to end-users about such tyre parametersAccordingly, no rules on these parameters should be enacted at the present time.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 22
(22) In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to introduce requirements with respect to wet gripthe grading of C2 and C3 tyre classes, to introduce requirements with respect to essential tyre parameters other than as regards fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise and to adapt the Annexes to technical progress. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 1
The aim of this Directive is to increase the fuel-efficiency of road transport by promoting fuel-efficient tyres. This Directive establishes a framework for the provision of information on tyre parameters through labellingte a framework for the provision of information on tyre parameters by means of a labelling system permitting consumers to make their tyre selection in a transparent manner.

Proposal for a directive
Article 6
Responsibilities of car suppliers and car Member States shall ensure that car suppliers and car distributors comply with the following provisions: (1) provides information on tyres which are fitted on new vehicles; that information shall include the fuel efficiency class as set out in Annex I, Part A, the external rolling noise measured value as set out in Annex I, Part C and, for C1 tyres, the wet grip class as set out in Annex I, Part B. (2) where different tyre types may be fitted on a new vehicle, without end-users being offered a choice between them, the lowest fuel efficiency class, wet grip class and the highest external rolling noise measured value of these tyre types shall be mentioned in the technical promotional literature in the order specified in Annex III. (3) where end-users are offered a choice between different tyre types to be fitted on a new vehicle, car suppliers shall state the fuel efficiency class, wet grip class and external rolling noise measured value of these tyre types in the technical promotional literature in the order specified in Annex III. (4) where end-users are offered a choice between different tyre types to be fitted on a new vehicle, car distributors shall provide information on the fuel efficiency class, wet grip class and external rolling noise measured value of these tyre types before sale.Article 6 deleted distributors
